<p>
      An embedded HTTP server can be executed using the <span class="command"><strong>.http [&lt;port&gt; [&lt;authentication token&gt;]]</strong></span> 
      command, or the <code class="option">-s</code> command line option. If no port is specified the 12345 port is used.
    </p>
<p>
      The web browser's features are:
      </p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p>display meta information such as the lists of tables, views or triggers and their details 
	    for a connection</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>open an emulated console where SQL commands (and some internal commands) can be run</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>
    </p>
<p>
      Clients must first authenticate before they can use the features mentioned above; authentication is kept simple
      as it consists of a string. By default the requested string is empty (eg. no real authentication is required), but
      an authentication string can be specified when running the web server either with the <span class="command"><strong>.http</strong></span> command, 
      or the <code class="option">-t</code> command line option.
    </p>
